Analog Discovery 2

Analog Discovery 2 is a USB oscilloscope, logic state analyzer and multifunction instrument that allows you to measure, visualize, generate , record and control mixed-signal circuits of all kinds. The device, despite its small size, is powerful enough to replace a stack of laboratory equipment . It allows engineers, students or electronics enthusiasts to work freely with analog and digital circuits both in and out of the laboratory. Analog and digital inputs and outputs can be connected to the circuit using simple wire probes. Alternatively, the Analog Discovery BNC adapter and BNC probes can be used for connection.

Functionalities:

The Analog Discovery 2 can be configured to operate as one of several traditional test and measurement instruments such as:

• Oscilloscope
• Waveform generator
• Power supply
• Voltmeter
• Data logger
• Logic state analyzer
• Pattern generator
• Static input/output
• Spectrum analyzer
• Network analyzer
• Impedance analyzer
• Protocol analyzer
• Curve tracing

Detailed description of functionality

• Two-channel USB digital oscilloscope (1 MΩ, ±25 V, differential, 14-bit, 100 MS/s, 30 MHz+*)
• Two-channel arbitrary waveform generator (±5 V, 14-bit, 100 MS/s, 12 MHz+ bandwidth*)
• 16-channel digital logic analyzer (3.3 V CMOS and 1.8 V or 5 V tolerant, 100 MS/s)
• 16-channel pattern generator (3.3 V CMOS, 100 MS/s)
• 16-channel virtual digital I/O including buttons, switches, displays, and LEDs, which is perfect for logic training applications
• Two input/output digital trigger signals for linking multiple instruments or providing an external trigger source
• Two channel voltmeter
• Network Analyzer with Bode, Nyquist, Nichols transfer diagrams of a circuit. The Network Analyzer has a range of 1 Hz to 10 MHz
• Spectrum Analyzer capable of power spectrum and spectral measurements (noise floor, SFDR, SNR, THD, etc.)
• Data Logger with exportable data and plot functionality
• Impedance Analyzer for analyzing capacitive and inductive elements
• Curve Tracer to analyze characteristics of discrete semiconductors such as diodes and transistors
• Protocol Analyzer with SPI, I2C, CAN, AVR, and UART
• 2 programmable power supplies (0.5 V to 5 V , -0.5 V to -5 V). The maximum available output current and power depend on the Analog Discovery 2 powering choice.
• Stereo audio amplifier to drive external headphones or speakers with replicated Arbitrary Waveform Generator signals
• An available Software Development Kit for programming with Python and C++, and a toolkit for programming with LabVIEW.
• MATLAB support for the Data Acquisition Toolbox

*Note: To achieve maximum bandwidth, use of the BNC Adapter for Analog Discovery is required.

WaveForms Software

Use of the available instruments is made possible by WaveForms software compatible with MAC, Linux and Windows. Analog Discovery 2 communicates with WafeForms via a USB connection to a computer.

Additional accessories

For additional functionality, additional accessories can be purchased, such as a BNC adapter that connects standard BNC-terminated test leads and probes to the Analog Discovery oscilloscope and waveform generator and increases the bandwidth of the oscilloscope and waveform generator, a Breadboard and Breakout board adapter for direct connection to a contact board, or an impedance analyzer that provides automatic adjustment of reference resistors and relays.

Ultimate Analog Discovery 2 Bundle

Test and debug a wide range of circuits with the Analog Discovery and ALL of it's accessories. The BNC Adapter and Probes allow the Oscilloscope and Waveform Generator on the Analog Discovery 2 to be accessed using traditional BNC type probes. For applications that are better suited to breadboards, the Breadboard Breakout and Breadboard Adapter provide different options for quick connection to a breadboard. The mini-grabbers provide a secure connection to ICs and smaller components for the Oscilloscope, Waveform Generator, Logic Analyzer or any of the 12 test and measurement devices on the Analog Discovery 2. The impedance Analyzer adds the ability to measure inductive and capacitive elements. The Analog Discovery 2, probes, the large breadboard, and all of the adapters fit in the included large project box, making transport as convenient as possible!
